I'm Done. Giving 2 Weeks Notice Today, How Should I Do It?

[Live and Learn]

Congrats!!
....enjoy this time with your lil one!! I did not start providing dc until after my kids were already in school all day and it was so wonderful to have those years with them. Our family is so strong and our children are so confident....I can't help but think that my staying at home made a big difference. Good for you!!

That's great- I bet there is a huge sense of relief. Best of luck to you! Enjoy your own little ones!!!

wow, congrats to you! I feel relieved for you and can't imagine what that feeling is like to close down once you are done. Good luck!!

Thanks I do feel relieved but I don't think I will fully feel it until the last day is over. I also won't be able to quit forever but in 7-8 months from now if I haven't found another way to help supplement our income by then I might take 1-2 kids maximum of older ages i.e Not 1 year olds and change the format entirely of how this last run was. I want to be able to go out with the dck's and do groceries, errands, go to museums and the library etc so that my kids or myself don't have to be stuck in the house all the time. This was my biggest mistake I think was taking a young group all under 2 and not being able to get anything done like appointments or take my daughter places etc..


Anyway thanks again for all the advice I've gotten from all the wonderful people on this forum.

Good for you! I'm glad that your families were supportive! I am pregnant and doing daycare too--not so fun, I totally feel your pain!! My midwife has actually expressed that she wants me to quit much earlier than I intend--I intend to go to 38 weeks. I'm done with daycare once I go off on my Maternity leave too--luckily I live in Canada and Self-Employed people are now able to pay into EI and get a full year of Mat leave. After that, I'll figure out something else! Good luck with the baby and enjoy your little girl!

okay, okay, okay, now I am REALLY jealous of you Canadians!! Really, truly, tell me...is there much call for home daycare and/or high school history teachers in Cananda? 'Cause I'm seriously starting to consider moving to Canada (my dad lives there already and I love visiting him).

[meli829]

Yeah I also live in Canada and was excited to learn that we can now pay into EI, and so when or if I start again I will make sure to pay into it so that if we have more children I can at least have a paid mat leave. I don't think I qualify this time though because I think I read I had to have applied for it by a certain date and I didn't know about it so I didn't. Wish I had known sooner.
